WORKSHOP | G317 | Beginner glass fusing: Pendant party

Glasstronomy Studios 2600 John St., Unit 108, Markham

It’s time for some creative fun! In this introductory workshop, participants will explore the foundational principles of kiln-formed glass while creating a small collection of wearable pieces. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on experimentation, participants will learn about glass compatibility, volume control, and the basics of multi-layer firing while playing with colour, transparency, and form. Working with 96 COE glass and a variety of compatible accessories, participants will design and assemble up to four fused glass pendants or ornaments. Once kiln fired, each piece will be finished with jewellery bails, making them ready to wear, share, or gift. A lively introduction to fused glass that combines technical fundamentals with creative exploration. All project materials and kiln firing are included. When: Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 10 am to 12 pm Fee: $50 + HST (includes all project materials and kiln firing) Beginners are welcome!

WORKSHOP | G320 | Fused glass landscape: Translating nature into kiln-formed imagery

Glasstronomy Studios 2600 John St., Unit 108, Markham

Nature captivates us with sweeping landscapes and quiet, awe-inspiring vistas. Translating these scenes into glass allows those moments to linger long after the journey has ended. In this workshop, participants will explore how landscape imagery can be interpreted through kiln-formed glass. Techniques such as glass impasto, frit-based texture (frittage), and cut glass applications will be introduced to help build surface interest and structure within a composed glass panel. Working with 96 COE glass and compatible accessories, participants will translate a favourite photograph or remembered landscape into glass. Concepts of depth, colour relationships, and perspective will emerge through thoughtful design, layered construction, and kiln firing. All project materials and kiln firing are included. When: Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 1 pm to 4 pm Fee: $178 + HST (includes all project materials and kiln firing) Beginners are welcome!
